Visionaire 20 / Comme des Garcons



New York. Visionaire. 1997. First Edition. Large folio, Unpaginated. Loose leaf inserts in oversized trompe l'oeil fabric-print box, with sealed Fabric dress pattern. One of 2800 copies. Contents absolutely perfect, box a little rubbed to corners but still in a very good condition. More images available on request.. Hardcover. Book: Fine. Dustwrap: VG+.

Cripes, so- this is THE visionaire to own, certainly the best and most desirable issue. Described as a visual conversation with Kawakubo, includes contributions from Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, Karl Lagerfeld, Nick Knight, Mario Sorrenti, Peter Lindbergh, Paolo Roversi, Craig McDean & M/M, Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Joe McKenna, Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela etc. Incredible. Dress from the 'Bloom' collection still sealed. Very highly recommended.
